So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. On behalf of all the Deputy Grand Matrons from 1989, we send prayers to the family.
It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And when it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your loved one can be almost impossible to bear. That pain is not necessarily erased by being told that your loved one is up in heaven. The Bible, however, holds out a much different hope. The Scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunited with your dead loved one soon, not in an unknown heaven but right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions. Jehovah God, who started mankind off in a lovely garden, has promised to restore Paradise on this earth under the rule of His heavenly Kingdom in the hands of the now glorified Jesus Christ. (Matthew 6:10; Luke 23:42, 43) In that restored Paradise, the human family will have the prospect of enjoying life without end, free from all sickness and disease. (Revelation 21:1-4) Gone, too, will be all hatred, racial prejudice, ethnic violence, and economic oppression. It will be into such a cleansed earth that Jehovah God through Jesus Christ will resurrect the dead. Please go to jw.org/en/publications/books/when-someone-dies/ for more information.
My sincere condolences to the Price family. May Gods word bring you comfort.-Acts 24:15
